design. What distinguishes
them among other high
quality Scandinavian interior
products is the touch of
authentic ancient handicraft
culture of countries like
Bolivia, South Africa, India
and Cambodia. Each design
is adjusted to the techniques
of the artisans in the areas
where these items are produced,
and all products are
handmade, making them
truly unique. Outi works
in collaboration with such
renowned designers as Anu
Penttinen, Susanna Vento,
Maija Louekari, Saana ja
Olli, Heath Nash, Haldane
Martin, and Reetta Ahola,
and carefully picks and finetunes
each product design
herself. The creation of
a new collection is a long
process. A product starts
out from a Nordic-inspired
design, goes through several
changes and adjustments
to fit the techniques of the
craftsmen, and finishes as a
beautiful and ecologically
sustainable product, made
with joy and love.
Mum’s not only aims to
improve the lives of people
in distant locations, but also
serves the Finnish community
by organizing happenings
and local charity events.
Since 2011, in cooperation
with other designers and
NGOs, Mum’s has been
organizing the Flowerdrops
project - an art event, which
promotes ecological sustainability
and donates all the
profits to charity.
Mum’s was born in 2006 while Outi and her family went to
Africa. These children are happy to go to school. And their
parents are even happier to be able to provide them the
possibility to go to school and learn things. Most of MUM’s
handicrafters cannot read or write, because they did not have a
chance to go to school as kids.
